I would like to invite you all to participate in the 1st Annual Holiday Art Retailer Tour (HART) beginning this Saturday.

Of course, our downtown has a vibrant and ecclectic mix of art, but how often do we take the time to connect with the artists and businesses that make up our city's cultural identity? Yellowknife is known for the quality and variety of our locally produced art and crafts, so let's get out to appreciate what so many travel great distances to experience. Local art is the heart of downtown Yellowknife and this is a great opportunity to support our community's artists and art based businesses.

Got any last minute gifts to buy? Is that one person who has everything still on your shopping list? Done shopping for everyone else, but still haven't picked up anything for yourself? This is your last chance to finish up all your gift purchasing and to do it while supporting the community we all love and earning a chance to win great prizes.

Attached you will find a poster with all the details regarding this great new event. Also, you will find the HART Passport, which is your ticket to join in on the fun. All you have to do is bring your passport to each of the listed locations to collect stamps. Completed cards can be dropped off at The Gallery on 47th Street (formerly the Dawn Oman Studio) for your chance to win a basket of gift cards and prizes provided by HART participants. Let's all get out and show our local artists and art retailers that Yellowknife has HART!

Any questions should be directed to myself at colinATtheartofconsultingDOTca or at 867-445-2017. Please feel free to distribute this poster and passport to anyone who enjoys local art or a fun day of shopping around town.
